Hearts.
Mrs. T. C. Hornby gave a "Pro
gressive Hearts''party to twenty-four
of her friends last Friday evening" ,
which was a decided novelty. Each
of the six tables \vas ornamented with
a red heart bearing" the number of
the table , and the score cards were
large red pasteboard hearts. The
favors were hand painted hearts , and
the games were recorded by pasting
tinr red hearts on the favors. Hearts
was played until midnig-ht. at which
time a dainty lunch was served.
Salted almonds were served in heart
shaped dishes , the salad came on
hearts of lettuce and heart sand
wiches and cakes , and strawberries ,
wafers and Saratoga chips completed
the menu. The ladies' first prize ,
won by Mrs. J. W. Spirk. was an em
broidered heart photograph holder ,
and the consolation prize , carried
away by Mrs. Good , was an embroid
ered heart covering sheets of court
plaster. The gentleman's prize. Pete
Donoher. was a hand painted easel
with a heartshaped opening for a
photograph , and Al Thacher's boob } *
was a heart basket filled with a
'patch and button * ' outfit.
As a hostess Mrs. Hornby stands in
the front rank , and at this part } ' she
excelled herself. With that tact
which is more natural than acquired
she makes everyone feel at ease , and
the most diffident cannot long remain
quiet or inactive when at her house.
Speaking of his recent trip to this
place Editor Miles of Ainsworth says :
We would have no complaint to
make of our treatment while there if
the darned " 'yokels" hadn't made us I
climb the mountain just north of the
city. This mountain seemed to us to
be covered with twelve feet of sand
and to be twenty thousand feet above
the top of the mill dam.
Curious , isn't it , how a few drinks
of Minnechaduza water will affect
the imagination.
